When you eat food, breathe, play, and grow, all of these are chemical reactions, and they must take place quickly. How does your body speed up these important reactions? The answer is enzymes. Enzymes ...

Enzymes are substances in the body that cause and speed up crucial chemical reactions. Enzymes’ function is to help trigger ...

Bobrov and his colleagues were seeking an enzyme to cleave chemical sulfate groups, composed of sulfur and oxygen, from large carbohydrate molecules called complex polysaccharides. The team hoped ...

A cheap and green chemical commodity was identified as a starting material that allowed the generation of a key intermediate in the synthesis in a stepwise reaction. As an initial proof of concept, an ...

Originally published in 1977, this book covers in a comprehensive manner the detailed kinetic analysis of a number of different enzyme models. Each kinetic equation is developed in a stepwise fashion ...

Enzymes are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in living organisms. They are essential for life, as they play a crucial role in various biological processes, such as digestion, ...

Professor Jason Micklefield A team from the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology and the Department of Chemistry at The University of Manchester with collaborators from GlaxoSmithKline have ...

This paper builds on work that Huang published last year on engineering thiamine-dependent enzymes for radical chemistry. The researchers engineered a benzaldehyde lyase enzyme from Pseudomonas ...

Enzymes are large biological molecules—usually proteins—that speed up chemical reactions. Molecules that speed up chemical reactions but are unchanged afterwards are known as catalysts. The substances ...

Enzymes are a vital component of sustainable industrial practices, offering environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical ...
